  1. ACADEMY UPDATE FOR BONEY HAY 13th September 2016

  2. Today’s Purpose: • To share our plans with parents and carers • To explain our reasoning • To alleviate concerns • To answer any questions

  3. Underpinning theme: What is best for Boney Hay in the current Educational Landscape and for the Future?

  4. CURRENT EDUCATIONAL LANDSCAPE • Government drive for academisation • Local Authority no longer a viable source of support • Good schools can choose their own sponsor • Most local schools looking to convert • No time for complacency!

  5. WHY CONVERT? • Not a rash decision • Is inevitable so let’s go with our own choice rather than be allocated a sponsor • Freedom of budgets and curriculum • Retain our autonomy • Aspirational Opportunities for children and staff • Local schools are also doing so – we need to maintain our own identity • Working closely as a cluster but time has come to protect ourselves and our identity.

  6. WHY STAFFORDSHIRE UNIVERSITY ACADEMY TRUST? • Governors and Staff have undertaken a great deal of research • Well respected trust by schools and DFE • Already having a positive impact in existing schools • 3 schools already in trust with another 3 due to join in December • Non profit making – a social enterprise • Backing of University • Promise to retain our uniqueness • Aspirational • Already supporting school

  7. HOW WILL MY CHILD BE AFFECTED?

  8. Staff changes • All still at Boney Hay but employed by SUAT instead of SCC • Opportunities to work across the Trust and with the University • No one will have to move • Same terms and conditions of contract • Better Professional Development • Stability

  9. What next? • Application lodged with DFE • Academy Order to start legal process • Work with SUAT to manage transfer of lands/staff and assets • Proposed conversion dates; 1st Dec or 1st Feb

  10. The future • We are spearheading the change • We are masters of our own destiny • We are excited!
